Clowning Around

Hi everyone and happy Monday!

If you're looking for a simple and fun Valentine's Day decoration, then you'll love these extra large tags I created using Deena's Collage Sheet - Valentine Clowns!

The printable sheet comes with six different Victorian-style clown images and you will get all six in two different sizes. I used the larger size for my tags.

I started with six large manila tags (size 5-1/2 x 3) and edged each one with brown ink to give a distressed look. After printing and cutting out the images, I backed each one to a piece of fabric or burlap that I had in my stash -- in keeping with my New Year's goal to use what I have on hand. I then stapled each clown image to a tag.

As a finishing touch, I tied a piece of ribbon through the top of each tag.

The Valentine Clowns are so cheery and colorful and it was fun to select a different colored backing and ribbon for each tag! The large tags are great to use for a decorative banner for your home decor, or as an added touch to a Valentine's Day gift bag or box.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. For more collage sheets, be sure to visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website.

Have a great week -- and HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!!

Vintage Postcards with Victorian Kids

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone is enjoying a lovely and peaceful holiday season! Hard to believe that the year is almost over!

Do you have any New Year's resolutions? One of mine is to make use of the crafting materials I have on hand instead of buying more. Of course there will always be that "new" item that catches my eye, but my plan is to do much less of that.

Today I'm featuring Deena's Printable Hang Tags - Victorian Kids 102.

There are four different images, and you will get three of each on an 8.5 x 11 sheet. I used these images to create four different decorative postcards.

I had a sheet of vintage style postcards that has been in my stash for a while. I cut them out and then added one of the Victorian tags to the front of each. I used dimensional glue dots to give the postcards added interest.

I stamped "2016" on each card, and then embellished them with pale green rhinestones (that I've also had for quite some time). The postcards are made of heavy cardstock, so they display quite nicely on little easels.

They'd make a charming hostess gift for any upcoming parties or get-togethers you might have. The images are so sweet and would make a delightful addition to your home decor throughout the rest of the winter. 

Please visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website for more hang tags!

Thanks for stopping by -- and wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
